EEEEEEEKS How will I ever cope!

I sold my house and I am moving in two weeks. The house I am moving into has a tiny kitchen with half the storage space so....we are remodeling it immediately. The planning alone which I haven't really even started yet is driving me insane especially doing it on a limited budget and no ability to do DIY projects.
 
Anyhoo, my cooking facilities will be extremely limited for a few months.

I know some of you have lived through this. Any helpful hints? I will have a microwave of course and an electric pressure cooker that has rice cooking and browning functions so we won't starve....

1. I have had a "kitchen" be a hot plate on top of the toilet tank.

I also learned how to stir fry in a popcorn maker back before any other white bread suburbanites knew what stir frying was.
 
Worse were the Victorian kitchens with acres of floor space with a sink on one wall, a stove in the middle and a refrigerator wherever there was an outlet and no counters between any of them.
 
In other words, I feel your pain. Still, a part of me thinks you should have tried the tiny kitchen first. Often they can be the best kitchens since you don't tire yourself out walking from one workspace to another.

3. I actually have lived in this kitchen before

We kept our last family home with the plan to retire there when we got older. It has served us as a rental for many years and we were able to keep a house that we loved that had grown too small for at home business and growing family. Now that it's just the two of us again, we don't need our huge home and all this land. I am looking forward to not climbing stairs and since I am losing my mobility need a place that is more manageable and accessible.
 
I actually agree with you about smaller kitchens. I need to make this one more accessible for me plus I do need more storage. I won't be gaining any floor space ....Just getting rid of a peninsula and adding space for a lower cabinet to hold a microwave. Plus I have those awful white tile countertops which are a pain to keep clean. I am hoping to get an extra foot or two of counters plus places I can tuck frequently used countertop appliances that I won't have room for on top.
 
When I am done...it won't be grand but hopefully far more functional for me....And that is good.
 
I don't think I could do the hotplate on the toilet...I'm having a hard enough time thinking about washing dishes in the bathtub...

2. An outdoor grill? A countertop 1-or-2-burner electric "stovetop"?

4. Ha!

We just sold our grill on craigslist....Husband never liked taste of food grilled outside so we rarely used it. So when he had an opportunity to sell it rather than move it he jumped on it. Poor Planning on our part. We are totally disorganized about everything....and its creeping up fast on us.

Maybe a copy of "Kill it and Grill it" by Ted Nugent might help ?

They don't have money and can't do DIY? 

And then the drug queen of NM second only to Heisenberg tells us how she "cooks" in her bathroom?

Then they wonder why we consider them the first, second, and third shittiest cooks in all of the Interwebz.

Allowing Warpy to heat, eat, and sheet without moving a buttcheek.

Oh my God.  Couldn't she have found anywhere else to put the hot plate?  Why did she even share that?  To impress people?

Maybe as proof that she really does eat shit? :???: :tongue: :whistling:

I like the old time kitchens, the kind with just shelves and no cabinet doors.

Hubby had a fit when I took off the doors and put them in storage.   I wanted to see at a glance what we had for canned goods and dried products as we were duplicating foods, pushing the older stuff to the back of a dark cupboard. Men design kitchen cabinets that are so high a little women like me has to stand on a chair to get stuff down.   Doors and one never  knows when they do go teetering on a chair to look for something that is not there.

I can tell at a glance what we are running out of and to tell the truth with all the bright labels it adds color to a blah kitchen.   Also feels good to know in an emergency we do have food on hand.

No more on ones knees rooting about under dark under cabinets looking for glass cooking ware when all is in sight on a kitchen shelf.

Just me, I hate the under cabinets for every day use, with doors a good place to put the good china used a few times a year away.     A good place for the cookware or gizmo's we use seldom the Juicers or bread makers.    

My pantry is full of baking sheets and all kinds of stuff that sounded like a good idea at the time but we have not used in 5 years.        We did cut a cat door in the Pantry and put our electronic litter box inside, as everything is boxed up, no problem with bacteria spreading.

To each their own, my kitchen is much like a restaurant kitchen, I need a food item, I can see it, I need a pot or pan, I see it.

Perhaps I should have a garage sale on the things I have not used in 10 years, kept hidden behind closed cabinet doors and forgotten about.

Cooking and eating off the toilet tank......is that what is called the reverse cowgirl position?

Don't know but I found my son at 2 years old sitting on the  pottie  eating a cookie. Didn't bother him that what was going in was going  out.
